1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a congenital malformation most commonly identified in prenatal or early childhood imaging, with adult diagnoses being relatively rare. We present the case of a 62-year-old man with a history of intellectual disability who was incidentally found to have complete ACC during evaluation for dizziness and chest discomfort. Initial noncontrast computed tomography (CT) of the brain demonstrated ventricular enlargement concerning for hydrocephalus, prompting further evaluation. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clarified the diagnosis, revealing classic radiographic features of ACC, including colpocephaly, the "moose head" configuration on coronal views, "racing car ventricles" on axial imaging, and the "sunray" (or "sunrise") sign on sagittal views. The patient had no prior neuroimaging and was previously unaware of this congenital anomaly. This case highlights the potential for delayed diagnosis of ACC in individuals with lifelong intellectual disability and emphasizes the importance of recognizing characteristic imaging findings to avoid misinterpretation. Additionally, it underscores the clinical and social relevance of identifying structural brain abnormalities later in life.
